A huge part of the COVID bump was that, on top of trump being blamed for economic conditions, he didn’t get to campaign and Biden didn’t need to. That might be equalised in 2028 if the republicans fail to get someone decent at campaigning, and none of the likely candidates right now can hold a candle to Trump’s empty podium.

If I had to bet on anything, it’d be hot potato for the next few elections until either another war of aggression or some charismatic left liberal doing some reforms that’ll be undone by the next decade.

I’m not Usian so it’s quite conceivable that I’m missing something. I’ll further concede that Obama’s person had a great effect as far as individuals go. But I don’t think he, or indeed the entire party could’ve saved Corpse President had the media treated Sanders as they would anyone else. The first two primaries they abused the conflicting information to name some rat the winner, then downplayed Nevada to oblivion. After some apocalyptic melancholy by I think wolf blitzer, and some pats on the back of the late Biden for coming in second, they refused to talk about it. It was 10 straight days of Obama this, Clyburn that and the polls from SC went from a decent win to pure domination, while in the super Tuesday states Sanders lost his lead. Then the days of gloating and the coup de grace, two rats bailed and a certain snake didn’t.

I’ll also admit that this narrative of mine takes polling at face value. Between October '19 and march '20 I was checking polling for TERF island and Usia constantly. Those two elections had a huge role in my development, I saw what I would’ve considered legacy media claw back their countries from the possibility of SocDem rule for years. A pox on all their houses.

I disagree on the strongest terms. MSM managed to get a corpse nominated in 2020 largely by repeating ad nauseam that he’s electable. Then the corpse won basically unopposed due to COVID19 giving Don just enough rope to hang himself.

Fell for what? A ploy to capture their support? The average Usian liberal doesn’t pay enough attention to not follow where the current’s headed. Newsom was practically unbelievable until this farce for the same reason Harris was before the VP pick, they’ve done a shit job in California of all places.

I’m annoyed by how obvious and heavy-handed it is this time, but if 2020 wasn’t obvious enough for Usians, they’ll bite again and again and again.

In all fairness, if he gave two bits of a shit this wouldn’t take place in there oval office. This doesn’t say much about what his future foreign policy will be, but clearly Putin knows how to talk with him and the vassals still expect him to act like Obama or whoever. No chance the Europeans actually wanted to meet there.

Weird question bit when’s the botton picture from? There he looks like he’s got more blood in his face than the corpse of Biden has ever had in at least 4 years.

Even the attempt is hilarious because it’s not like we haven’t got a decent quality version of the image. I know it’s not 4k or whatever but you can clearly see Neo, unlike the “upscale”.

You? Apparently not. But to the best of their ability people answer honest questions here. “If capitalism is so great and a shirt travels the world 5 times before getting to the shop why’re there tens of millions without access to sanitation and clean water” is a fair question.

Also, the high estimates of the famines in socialist states are measured exactly in the manmer you decried. If you could read the bottom text, you’d underatand this is intentional.

Let’s make an intelligence as thoughtless in action as its creators, then shock, horror when it ignores its core principles just like its creators.

I don’t think they’re kidding.

As though it had any power as an uncommon insult used by trots of all people. It had as much power as their newspapers.

That they’re god’s gift to earth and that they earned everything they’ve got. If you were convinced you had created a company the size of a country all by yourself, you’d think that when you shit what touched the ground was golden apples too.

Sorry about your country. I doubt it’s comforting but 99.8% of the ukroposters have fuckall to do with the Ukraine, they’re just westerners who think that’s praxis.

I don’t recall how exactly it started, if I had to guess I’d say I made a remark impying all employers are exploiters. I tried to explain the concept of the surplus value in the simplest terms. I explained the simplest model, they said the worker doesn’t actually sell the product and that there’s other factors involved. I explained that logistics, selling etc are also labour and that I’m only talking on a simplistic model, that it can be expanded. They brought up an individual, a friend who happens to be a bourgeois leech, said he works hard (he does). I explained that his managership and ownership are essentially different hats, and that he could employ people to do the job, not work a second, and still go home with money. They mentioned insurances and shit.

I got flustered. I had faith in the intelligence of these people, and they just said that. I don’t remember how it went later, but it got into the subject of risk. I said proles risk far more, life and limb, while capitalists risk comfort and ranking. One of them claimed he had many friends who lost everything they had, presumably he meant start-ups, he knew a lot of those. I guess I made a flippant remark because it got heates and we had to just arguing to cool off.

At what point does this barrage of minutiae stop being honest questions and become sealioning? I can’t tell. It’s a cringy memory for me all around but if nothing else it was an experience.

Is anyone actually convinced by the practical impossibility of infinite growth? I’m not saying the argument is wrong, but you all know how pig-headed liberals are when confronted with materialism. I had nominally intelligent, well-educated people bring up “who’ll pay insurance and pension funds?” when I was trying to explain the concept of surplus value.

He doesn’t acknowledge PRC’s achievements, doesn’t support AES except Cuba (I think) and doesn’t align himself with other anti-imperialists. He attacks journalists critical of the west, I faintly recall a bona fide NED spook quote tweeting BE to attack the Greyzone.

Insofar as he limits himself to attacking rightists, especially the ones claiming to be socialists, he’s fine.

Wow, I really didn’t expect to see “protestors made my commute longer so now I’m pro global warming” type of critique here.
